In video posted to YouTube, a man at a Michigan McDonald’s was knocked out with a single punch by an employee.

In the video, an unseen man is talking with an employee and a patron at the McDonald’s when a second employee walks around his coworker to approach the man. The employee pulls the man, who is wearing a white shirt, up, and he is briefly seen by the camera before the employee throws a left-handed punch that knocks the man out cold.

Kevin Lange, the Michigan State student who filmed the incident, said that prior to the incidents caught on film, the man had been behaving belligerently, spitting on the counter and throwing a “Caution: Wet Floor” sign at employees behind the counter. When some of the employees tried to get the man to leave, he was pushed to the ground, and then the punching incident occurred.

“He definitely instigated it,” Lange said of the customer. “But, it got taken too far. He didn’t have to get punched, he could have got pushed out and told not to come back.”

East Lansing police Lt. Steve Gonzalez said police responded to the call for a report of an assault at around 2 a.m. “The detective bureau will tie up some loose ends, and they’ll refer the case to the prosecutor’s office for possible charges,” Gonzalez said.
